  U.S. Army Tank Doctrine
The PSG is second in command of the platoon and is accountable to the platoon leader for the training, discipline, and welfare of the soldiers in the platoon.
Tanks can defend much like the infantry, but they are most effective when employed in a mobile situation that exploits their speed, shock, and firepower.
Tanks are most effective if the enemy is unaware of their presence and has planned to fight only against the infantry forces that he has identified.

 Tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tanks were first used in World War I to break the deadlock of the trenches, and they evolved gradually to assume the former role of cavalry on the battlefield: to either flank opposing positions with fast movement, or to penetrate defences by massive concentration.
Since an immobilised tank is an easy target for mortars, artillery, and the specialised tank hunting units of the enemy forces, speed is normally kept to a minimum, and every opportunity is used to move tanks on wheeled tank transporters and by railway instead of under their own power.
Tanks are also at a disadvantage in wooded terrain and urban combat environments, which cancel the advantages of the tank's long-range firepower, limit the crew's ability to detect potential threats, and can even limit the turret's ability to traverse.

 Siege Tank   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Siege Tanks have splash damage (Such as Catapults in Warcraft 2) that will damage both your units as well as any enemy units, so you want to be careful to keep your troops away from targets your tanks are firing on or your own troops will be hit.
Use SCVs to repair the tank during the heat of battle until the tank converts, or troops arrive to defend the helpless Siege Tank.
When you are on lower ground, your Siege Tanks can't fire on units on higher ground on their own, but if you use a flyer of some kind over the high ground, it will allow your Siege Tanks to see and fire at targets on high Ground.

 The Adrenaline Vault Review of Panzer Commander   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
As can be expected, Panzer Commander's career mode is much more involved than the single scenarios; by choosing the life of a German or Russian tank commander, the player can advance straight through the war, earn promotions and medals, and watch as his crew gains experience and becomes an elite fighting unit.
While the main gunsight is useful for nailing close targets on a straight path from your tank, most of the shooting is done from the zoomed-in sight, where detailed crosshairs allow for the targeting of vehicles on inclines, behind cover, and on the move.
As a tank simulation, Panzer Commander seems to pick up on the trend established by modern flight simulations, and that is the use of an advanced, 3D accelerated graphics engine to accompany realistic simulation-oriented gameplay.

 WWII Tank Commander: Review -- Strategy Informer
W.W.II Tank Commander has the added advantage of being somewhat historically influenced, so you could add it to your war games of history collection.
If some massive tanks are not enough to hide behind, you also have the omnipresent fog of war to secrete yourself in, though even that isn't needed at times because you have to get within a certain distance for enemy tanks to even notice you.
That means that the tank moves like a tank, with the exception of being able to go through wooden fences, and that things look pretty as they're going boom.

 World War II Tank Commander Review for PC - Pro-G
Tanks don't really move all that fast, so it's a fairly slow action game, which takes some getting used to.
This is as far from a tank sim as is possible, with tank control very easy to pick-up (there's no huge manual to read and no precise tank controls to learn) and the landscapes are littered with health and ammo pick-ups.
Friendly tanks will also fire directly at you if you cross into their line-of-sight - you can sit in front of them for minutes and they'll continue to fire at the enemy, hitting you in the process.
